I think the point was that it does feel a little forced though for sake of keeping the EE I’m not sure we can ever say that returning to an old name is “forced”, though.

GhostOfNormMacdonald Posted July 27, 2020 Share Posted July 27, 2020 Edmonton Elks (it wouldn't be Elk) is a phenomenal name for a CFL team. If the EE logo wasn't so iconic I would want them to have antlers on the helmet but them not having to change the uniforms at all will make the transition easier Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The_Admiral Posted July 27, 2020 Share Posted July 27, 2020 Put the EE logo inside the sleeve stripes like the Packers used to do when the Packers were trash, and then put the antlers on the helmet. Antlers on a helmet is such a great idea that I can't believe a team hasn't done it already. ♫ oh yeah, board goes on, long after the thrill of postin' is gone ♫ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Edmonton Elks actually has a place in franchise lore, including a championship. The fact that it would allow the club to retain the "EE" branding wouldn't make this forced — it would make it perfect.

That's a great idea, but I think the antlers are overwhelmed by the dark keyline, which is thicker than the antlers themselves in many places. I'm sure Edmonton can do something fantastic with this.

Midway Posted July 28, 2020 Share Posted July 28, 2020 Elks feels a lot like Warriors. The most obvious, safest answer and for that reason alone they’re going to overthink and botch this completely. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
